I will never forget getting all dressed up back home in Perrine, a small
town in the heart of Miami, Florida, for Trina's video shoot. "What song
is she making the video for?" I asked a friend. While being told the
name of her upcoming song, I can remember being mesmerized by this well
dressed woman walking past me surrounded by bodyguards and her entire
entourage. She had on a pair of Christian Loubotins, making it very
clear why this shoe deserved so much attention. They were beautiful.
Fast forward to the present, and there seems to be a Loubotin take over.
Despite the fact that Christian Louboutin first came out with the style
in the 1990s, "red bottoms" have exploded on the hollywood scene. Some
of everybody is being seen wearing this very popular brand. So much so,
that another company, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) had to bite a piece of
the pie. Reportedly the two companies even went to court on this issue.
Loubotin claims that YSL owed them close to $1million in damages and
also demanded that their red bottom shoes be stopped! A judge ruled in
the favor of YSL and so the fight continues. Whatever the outcome is,
everyone is sure to get their hands on this popular shoe designed to
elongate the woman's legs, and enhance their sophistication. Men want in
too? Well there is a free for all, for all involved. Christian
Loubotins can also be ordered as a red bottom sneaker. Tell me that's
not Great marketing.
